Abstract
Nonlinearities in the semiconductor ring laser (SRL) are incorporated in the analysis of directed optical logic gates and their effects on the output are studied. The paper discusses the effects of gain medium linewidth, internal quantum efficiency and self and cross gain saturation on the output of directed optical NOT gate implemented using SRLs.

All-optical logic based on silicon micro-ring resonators

TL;DR: All-optical logic in a micron-size silicon ring resonator based on the free-carrier dispersion effect in silicon is demonstrated and the free -carrier-lifetime-limited bit-rate can be significantly improved by active carrier extraction.

Operating regimes of GaAs-AlGaAs semiconductor ring lasers: experiment and model

TL;DR: In this article, a model based on a mean field approach for the two counter-propagating modes is proposed to study the semiconductor ring laser dynamics, and the authors obtain good numerical agreement between experiment and theory, and also an estimation for the otherwise unknown scattering parameters.

Alternate oscillations in semiconductor ring lasers

TL;DR: A bifurcation from bidirectional stable operation to a regime with alternate oscillations of the counterpropagating modes was observed experimentally and is theoretically explained through a two-mode model.
